Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to orthopedic fixation devices and bone plating systems for fracture fixation, and particularly to systems and methods for using bone plates that provide polyaxial fixation of fasteners.
- Bone plates may be secured to the bone in a number of ways.
- An existing solution is a plate and screw system where the screws are locked in the plate.
- a bone screw is threaded through an opening in the plate and into the bone.
- the screw is then secured to the bone plate via threads in the screw head that cooperate with threaded openings in the bone plate. This secures the plate with respect to the bone and provides rigid fixation because the relationship between the plate and screw(s) is fixed.
- the head of the locking screw interdigitates with threads in the plate, the plate and screws(s) form one stable system, and the stability of the fracture can be dependent upon the stiffness of the construct. Locking a screw into the plate can achieve angular and axial stability and eliminate the possibility for the screw to toggle, slide, or be dislodged, reducing the risk of postoperative loss of reduction.
- non-locking screws are secured into bone in the same way that locking screws are, but they are not secured to the plate. Their heads are typically rounded where they contact the bone plate.
- one advantage of non-locking screws is that they can be inserted at various angles because they are not limited by the thread-to-thread contact of locking screws with the bone plate.
- the use of a non-locking screw to obtain the desired angular orientation is not necessarily optimal.
- the locking screw(s) may not be able to maintain the fixed angular relationship between the screw(s) and plate under physiological loads. Specifically, the locking screws within the plate are only partially captured and thus only partially surrounded by threads. Under high stress and loading conditions, the slot may distort and allow the fixed angular relationship between the locking screw and plate to change. This can result in loss of fixation or loss of established intraoperative plate orientation. Moreover, the locking screw can still only be inserted at a single angle—the predetermined angle defined by the manufacturer.
- Another attempt at polyaxial fixation includes a plate with holes that have an internal jacket with recesses that extend away from the axis of the hole or into the internal jacket surface.
- This attempt is described in International Application WO 2005/018472, titled Bone Plate.
- the internal jacket surface of the plate described in that application is threaded or has ribs or protuberances.
- a bone screw is intended to be pulled into the hole of the plate by the internal jacket surface. If the bone screw head is threaded, when the screw in inclined, the threaded head is intended to “jump over” the pitches of the threads in the hole of the plate interrupted by the recesses, without “cutting through” them.
- the goal of the invention is provide a bone plate that can have bone screws introduced at an angle that is different from the specified axis of the hole and secured into position.
- threaded openings in bone plates typically require the plate to be of a certain thickness and thus, do not lend themselves to use with a thin plate
- threaded openings can be difficult and more expensive to manufacture than non-threaded openings in a bone plate
- threaded openings can take more effort in use because the surgeon needs to have the appropriate alignment for use.
- the threads of this application are short because they are interrupted by the recesses so it is likely that a fastener will not actually “grab” the threads to get good engagement.
- Such an improvement would allow a surgeon to direct the fastener toward bone fragments that are not necessarily located directly beneath the opening in the plate. It would also provide flexibility in the placement of the plate in relation to the bone fracture. Allowing surgeons to choose the angle at which the fastener is inserted into the plate would lead to better tailoring of the system to the specific nature of the bone fracture to be treated. It would also allow surgeons to adjust their strategy as necessary after the surgical site has been accessed, but prior to insertion of the fastener into bone material. Additionally, in situations where it is desirable to insert a fastener into a plate in a coaxial or polyaxial direction, the embodiments described herein would provide such a secure fit.
- Embodiments of the present invention relate to a bone fixation assembly that can provide polyaxial fixation.
- the polyaxial fixation may be provided by fins that protrude from an opening in a bone plate or fins that protrude from a fastener head.
- a polyaxial bone fixation assembly comprising
- the opening has a non-threaded inner surface and wherein the fins are located on the inner surface.
- the opening is further defined by a round circumference at the upper surface and a jagged circumference formed by the protruding fins at the lower surface.
- the protruding fins form a concave portion of the inner surface.
- the protruding fins have bases that meet the inner surface in substantially the same plane.
- the fastener has a threaded head adapted to engage with the protruding fins.
- Another embodiment provides fins that have a tapered shape, a straight shape, a rectangular shape, or a triangular shape.
- a further embodiment provides a bone plate with the opening located on the head.
- the fastener has a head with fins, wherein the fins are adapted to cooperate with threads in a bone plate.
- the fins are provided in more than one layer.
- Another embodiment provides the opening in the bone plate with one or more rectangular threads.
- the fins are trapezoidally-shaped, rounded, oval, rectangular, curved, rhomboid, diamond-shaped, or triangular.
- the fins may also have the edges of fins taper inwardly, outwardly, or are about parallel with one another.
- aspects of the invention also provide methods for securing a bone plate to a bone using polyaxial fixation.
- a method for securing a bone plate to a bone using polyaxial fixation comprising:

- Embodiments of the present invention provide a bone fixation assembly that can accept and fix fasteners at a plurality of angles.
- a specific embodiment of a bone fixation assembly 10 is shown as a bone plate 12 and fastener 80 in FIG. 1 .
- bone plate 12 has a lower surface 14 and an upper surface 16 and one or more openings 18 that extend from the lower surface 14 to the upper surface 16 .
- Plate 12 may be adapted to contact one or more of a femur, a distal tibia, a proximal tibia, a proximal humerus, a distal humerus, a clavicle, a fibula, an ulna, a radius, bones of the foot, or bones of the hand.
- the bone plate may be curved, contoured, straight, or flat. It may be a periarticular plate or a straight plate. An example of a straight plate is shown in FIG. 11 .
- Plate 12 may have a head portion that is contoured to match a particular bone surface, such as a metaphysis or diaphysis, flares out from the shaft portion, that forms an L-shape, T-shape, Y-shape, with the shaft portion, or that forms any other appropriate shape to fit the bone to be treated.
- a particular bone surface such as a metaphysis or diaphysis
- flares out from the shaft portion that forms an L-shape, T-shape, Y-shape, with the shaft portion, or that forms any other appropriate shape to fit the bone to be treated.
- An example of a T-shaped plate is shown in FIGS. 12-15 , the openings on the plates in those figures are described in more detail below.
- Bone plate 12 may be comprised of titanium, stainless steel, cobalt chrome, plastic—such as polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polyethylene, ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), or a carbon composite—resorbable polylactic acid (PLA), polyglycolic acid (PGA), combinations or alloys of such materials or any other appropriate material that has sufficient strength to be secured to and hold bone, while also having sufficient biocompatibility to be implanted into a body.
- PEEK polyetheretherketone
- UHMWPE ultra high molecular weight polyethylene
- PGA polyglycolic acid
- Opening 18 of plate 12 is shown having a central axis 20 , and it is adapted to receive a fastener.
- the fastener may be any typical, standard locking fastener or a non-locking fastener, although the embodiments described herein are intended for particular use with locking fasteners that have a series of threads on their heads.
- FIGS. 5-6 show examples of fastener 80 that may be used in accordance with embodiments of this invention. As shown specifically in FIG. 6 , fastener 80 has a shaft 82 and a head 84 . Shaft 82 may be threaded or otherwise configured to engage bone.
- shaft 82 may be fully threaded, partially threaded, comprise a helical blade, and/or may comprise one or more tacks, deployable talons, expanding elements, or so forth. Any feature that allows shaft 82 to engage bone is considered within the scope of this invention and may be referred to generally as a “threaded shaft” for the sake of convenience. It is also possible, however, that shaft 82 is not threaded, so that fastener 80 takes the form of a peg or a pin. This alternative embodiment may be preferred in certain procedures where, for instance, the main goal is to prevent tilting of a bone segment, or in procedures where there is no concern of fastener 80 pulling out from the bone and hence no need for shaft 82 to be threaded or otherwise configured to engage bone. For the sake of reference, shaft 82 is also shown having a longitudinal axis 86 . The end of shaft 82 may be a self-tapping or self-drilling tip, as shown in more detail in FIG. 5 .
- the head 84 of fastener 80 preferably has at least one set of threads 88 .
- Threads 88 are typically any standard-type thread.
- the threads 88 may be a continuous ridge or a non-continuous ridge. It may comprise a portion of a revolution, one complete revolution, multiple revolutions, a single lead, or multiple leads, or any other threads known in the art.
- head 84 of fastener 80 may include any other surface that will engage with and seat within specific features of plate (described further below).
- head 84 may have a series of dimples, ridges, bumps, textured areas, or any other surface that can secure fastener 80 as described herein.
- threads 88 of head are adapted to engage, associate with, or otherwise cooperate with fins 24 of opening 18 .
- any type of threaded fastener head is intended for use with various embodiments of this invention.
- the embodiment shown has an opening 18 with an inner surface 22 that is defined by a series of concavely indented, inwardly protruding fins 24 .
- Fins 24 extend into opening 18 toward central axis 20 .
- the bases 26 of fins 24 form a concave portion 28 at or near a round circumference 30 of upper surface 16 .
- the term “round” circumference is intended to refer to any round shape, such as a circle, an oval, an egg-shaped circumference, or any other opening shaped to receive the head of a fastener 80 .
- the bases 26 of the fins 24 may all meet in substantially the same plane and then angle downwardly and inwardly at a similar angle or slope.
- concave portion 28 is smooth and non-threaded. In fact, there are not any threads on concave portion 28 or anywhere on inner surface 22 of opening 18 . The lack of threads helps ease the manufacturing of plate 12 , and allows plate be manufactured as thinly as desired.
- the thickness of plate 12 and the dimensions of fins 24 are typically dependent upon the pitch and threads of fastener 80 .
- a larger plate 12 for use with a larger fastener e.g., for use on a femur bone
- the fins 24 are particularly thin so that they can be moved up or down and deformed upon pressure.
- the fins may be pressed toward the edges of the plate opening.
- a non-limiting exemplary range of thicknesses for fins may be from about 0.5 mm to about 5 mm, although larger and smaller sizes are possible.
- the fins 24 are intended to fit between crimps on the threadform of fastener 80 , as shown in FIG. 1 .
- Providing a non-threaded inner surface 22 also allows the fastener 80 to be inserted into opening 18 at any desired angle, because there are not any threads to interfere with the desired angle, as illustrated by FIG. 5 .
- the fins 24 are intended to slightly bend or deform in order to secure the fastener 80 in place in opening 18 . Fins 24 actually engage threads 88 or other surface of fastener 10 .
- fins 24 extend toward central axis 20 , they taper to form tapered sides 32 .
- the fins end at rounded tip 34 , although tips 34 can be pointed, square, rectangular, or any other appropriate configuration.
- fins 24 may have straight edges or sides 42 and straight ends 44 .
- This embodiment shows fins 24 that are partially rectangular-shaped.
- the openings 46 between fins 24 are slit-shaped.
- FIGS. 9 and 10 An alternate embodiment is shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 , which illustrate fins 24 with a more triangular shape.
- fins 24 are shown having sides 52 that taper inwardly and edges 54 that are flat and small, forming the apex area 56 where sides 52 come to an end. Openings 58 between fins 24 are more elongated than openings 46 .
- Both sets of openings 46 , 58 in these alternate embodiments are shown having rounded backs 60 , where they meet inner surface 22 of opening 18 . It should be understood however, that these are merely examples of fin 24 shapes and openings 46 , 58 and that any appropriate shapes are possible and considered within the scope of this invention. Non-limiting examples include trapezoidal, square, round, circular, triangular (with a pointed tip instead of apex area 56 ), and any other possible option.
- a second circumference 36 at the lower or underneath surface 14 of plate 12 may appear to be more jagged than the round circumference 30 at the upper surface 16 due to the fins 24 forming a portion of lower surface 14 .
- the circumference can appear almost “flower-like”—each fin 24 appears to form a petal of the circumference.
- the second circumference will appear similar to the shape created by fins 24 .
- FIG. 1 shows an opening 18 with about five to eight fins 24 , it should be understood that any number of fins 24 is considered within the scope of this invention. For example, there may be two or three fins, or ten or twenty or more fins 24 , depending upon the plate for which the opening 18 is intended for use.
- fins 24 grasp one or more threads 88 of a threaded head fastener in order to secure the fastener in place in the bone plate 12 , but at any angle.
- the fins 24 of this embodiment are still intended to secure the threads of the head of fastener in place, but at any angle. As the fastener is inserted, its threads start to engage the fins 24 , as shown in FIG. 1 .
- the fins 24 may be very thin so that as the head threads 88 start to grab fins 24 , the fins 24 may move up or down as appropriate to engage the threads 88 and secure the fastener 80 . In short, the threads 88 engage fins 24 (or fit in between fins 24 ). In most cases, this movement of fins 24 is a permanent deformation, so that the fins cannot flex back and allow the fastener to work its way out.
- finned openings 18 may be provided on all types of bone plates, examples of which are shown in FIGS. 11-15 .
- FIG. 11 shows a specific example of an opening 18 with fins 24 (referred to as a finned opening 18 ), a smooth opening 60 , a threaded opening 62 , and a provisional pin opening 64 .
- Other options are holes that can be used with either a threaded or non-threaded fastener, as well as combination slots. It should be understood that these various types of openings may be used on any types of bone plates, in any combination and in any size, examples of which are shown in FIGS. 12-15 .
- FIG. 12 shows a plurality of finned openings 18 in the head 70 of bone plate 12 .
- the plates 12 with finned openings 18 described herein can be used to place a fastener 8 —at various angles in order to capture the renegade fragments that would otherwise not be secured to a bone plate using only a locking or a non-locking fastener. It should additionally be understood that other types of openings (in addition to or instead of finned openings 18 ) may be present in the head 70 , as well as elsewhere on plate 12 .
- fastener 80 may be any typical fastener, made out of any appropriate material. It will typically have a bore for receiving a driver in order to secure fastener into bone and into plate 12 .
- the receiving bore may be any size and shape, for example, it may have a hexagonal configuration to receive a corresponding hexagonal driver, a Phillips screw head, a flat-head, a star configuration, Torx, or any other appropriate configuration that can cooperate with a driver to place fastener.
- the surgeon accesses the surgical site of interest, which can be an internal site at which a bone fracture is located that requires stabilization to ensure proper healing.
- the fracture may be reduced with conventional forceps and guides (which are known to those in the art), and a bone plate of appropriate size and shape is placed over the fracture site.
- the bone plate may be temporarily secured to the bone using provisional fixation pins.
- provisional fixation pins may be used through either the provisional pin openings, or any other opening (threaded or non-threaded or finned) in the plate.
- Provisional fixation provides for temporarily securing the bone plate to the bone before placing fixation screws through the bone plate, so that one can be certain the bone plate is properly positioned before placing bone screws for permanent fixation of the bone plate to the bone. Moreover, with provisional fixation, x-rays can be taken of the bone plate/construct without excess instruments in the field of view.
- the surgeon may place covers over the unused openings, particularly if there are any unused openings that cross the fracture in order to strengthen the plate 12 . Additionally or alternatively, the surgeon may use bone graft material, bone cement, bone void filler, and any other material to help heal the bone.
- Fastener 102 may be used with any bone plate that has a threaded opening. Any of the examples shown in the figures are described above may be used with fastener 102 .
- One option of a specific bone plate that can be used with fastener 110 is shown in FIG. 19 .
- This bone plate 120 has Acme threads 124 that have a more rectangular shape than the pointed, sharp threads that are typically used in bone plates.
- opening 122 has threads 124 that end at their edges 126 in a rectangular shape. Providing a rectangular shape with a flatter edge 126 allows a larger channel for the fins 110 to engage.
- the threads 124 may be angled at about 15-20° off of the central axis 130 of opening 122 , and even more specifically, at about 18° off of the central axis 130 .
- the fins 110 are intended to engage threads of the plate and, much like the fins of the bone plate described above, fins 110 are very thin so that as the threads of plate start to grab the fins 110 , the fins 110 may move up or down as appropriate to engage the threads of plate and secure the fastener 102 in place, as shown in FIG. 16 . In most cases, this movement of fins 110 is a permanent deformation, so that the fins cannot flex back and allow the fastener to work its way out.
